A Heavy kicker.

On Monday evening last r. r.
Humphrey, of Jennings & McPher-
sons saw mill, stopped for a short time
in town OH MS way to the mill with a
large OK, which attracted the atten-
tion of quite a number of men, and
several guesses as to the weight Of the
animal induced Mr.. Humphrey TO
have him weighed. While standing
on the scales for this purpose, a certain
Lebanon stockman came out of one of
the saloons somewhat under the infiu-
enee Of OK feed in a liquid state, and
proceeded to feel of the stag in order
to put an accurate estimate on his
weight, when the muscular bovine,
with right hind foot stepped on the fell
lows pocket-bOok just heavy enough to
lay him on his back on the street cross
ing some fifteen feet distant. In guess
ing the weight of the OK, said stock
man was of the opinion that il he
weighed according TO his kicking IA
cilities, he ought to spring the beam at
about three tons. His actual weight
was 1920 pounds

On a Tour of Inspection.

On Tuesday last, a party consisting
of Geo. H. Thurston, Col. G. f. Wood,
r. w. Mitchell and Allen Lewis, pass
ed through this city to examine the w.
V. & G. NJ. wagon road. The trip is be-
ing made with the view of putting a
corpse of land examiners in the field
preparatory to offering the land along
this road for sale. The land will all be
examined as wild land, and prices will
be fixed regardless of improvements.
Thus giving enterprising men who
have improvements the same advantage
as others. This is an equitable PROPOSE
ton on the part of the company, and
will certainly result satisfactorily. Mr.,
Thurston's term as superintendent OF
the road having expired, Mr.. Mitchell,
formerly land agent of the n. p. Co,
will take his place. The party will re-
turn in about four weeks.

Interesting Meetings at Waterloo,

and +. H. Roscoe, of Lebanon. The
results of this meeting was the organi-

ance was good, and league was organ-
lied with f. 7. C. Trim, Temporary

when the votes are counted, on the S;h
of November.

eessful meetings with one at Lebanon,
on Friday evening, the 18th, which was

An Appeal to the Women of Lob
anon.

For the past three years a few weak
women have tried to sustain the organ
ization of w. G. T. u, in Lebanon.
Oftimes we have become discouraged
and have neglected our meetings some
times for months together, but with
the sight of Il reeling drthkard on our
streets. or some mother or sisters alarm
for a son or brother, or perhaps a stir
ring appeal from some of our State Off
GERS, has reused us to action and we
have rallied our little band again and
with prayer to God for bel p renewed
the battle.
Such has been OUR history up to the
present time; we feel il TO be a poor re-
cord but we cannot believe the meeting
of the little company has been in vain,
and now in view of tile amendment
campaign we appeal to all true women
in this issue, home as the saloon, to
unite with this army of the White
Ribbon and help Danish this drink
traffic; this offense that smells ranllest
to heaven; this crime of all crimes,
from the fair state of Oregon.
We know that all can not become
active membets, yet our departments
are so varied, our work so extensive
that each can he assigned a place
suited to her abilities.
We know neither party or creed, the
door of entrance to our society is the
pledge of total abstinence.
We welcome to Our ranks women
from every station of life, as the evil
we combat respects not age, sex, intel
lect or social position, so we desire to
draw workers from every walk in life
that we may the more successfully
wage war against this destroyer of the
home.
We appeal especially to all christian
women. Do not underfate your in
fluenee now when our land is making
such a mighty effort to free itself from
this monster evil. 1t behooves us to
be fully awake to our responsibilities
and ready with consecreted hearts and
minds alert To work as well as pray.
Our sisters in Michigan did valiant
service. If we in Oregon labor rs
faithfully, success must crown our Cf-
forts, for we have many things in our
favor which they had not.
Then let us not falter but do our
whole duty and our course will surely
triumph and victory perch upon our
banner on the sth ofnext November, for
fright IS right. since God ! God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyaitv

to be a secretion of aphides that infest-

Senator Reagan, in answer to a letter
from Commissioner Morrison, takes
strong ground against the suspension
of the ''long and short haul clause.
He says, under the provision OF the
fourth section, the common carrier may
in special cases, after investigation by
the commission, be authorized to charge
less for longer than shorter hauls.
The commission has taken upon itself,
orassumed the right, to suspend the sec
ton and investigate afterwards. This
is like hanging man, then giving him
a trial. We are unable to understand
what harm can come to railroad by
hitching on car at Abilene and haul
ing it to Denver at less charge than
hauling a car from Kansas City to the
same destination; but we can see the
great wrong done to Abilene by charg-
ing greater freight rate from our town
to Denver than from Kansas City. The
low rates on the long haul, then ever
charging on intermediate points, is
clearly unjust discrimination, well cal
culated to freeze out every attempt at
manufacturing in the smaller cities.

Churches, prayer meetings and al
organizations that have in view the
elevation of mankind, and whose doc.
trines advocate living better, purer and
more noble lives, who preach and
practice christianity and the immOr-
tally of the soul, who explain and en-
deavor to turn mankind over to wor-
ship the only true and living God, and
whose creed is a belief in the. holy
trinity, The Father, Son and Holy
Ghost, are filling the grandest, noblest
and most sublime calling in the power
of mortalS to fill. Churches are the
great civilizerS of the nineteenth CEN
tury. and the church lever has the
greatest pressure to suppress sin and
vice. The church lever in suppressing
sin and vice appeals to a mans better
nature, it is pressure upon the baser
part of nature, and when success
fully operated, it not only crowds
out evil but supplants in its
stead that which is ennobling.
The lever of the law may place a man
where, for the time, it has him under
control, he can harm no one else, but
at heart he chafes and becomes more
vicious under its restraint. The lever
of the church may be used at disad-
vantage to christianity. There are so
many different ones, with different
ideas, that are using the lever. Squeez-
ing out sin and squeezing the pockets
of the people will not always work har-
and some poor NOR
tai will not leave his church
with his mind and soul in that tran
quill state that it ought to be on the
Holy Sabbath. If the lever could only
be brought to bear upon the contribu-
ton boxes and squeeze them out of eX-
istence; if the idea of begging money
for this and that could only be squeezed
ont of the minister's head when in the
pulpit, the lever would be more power
full for good. In the house of God one
is supposed to commune with his God.
but before the service is over the
minister is begging for this and
that and telling them they must
give, if they do not they are
not living up to the doctrines
of the Church. Many a poor man owes
every dollar he has in his pocket, and
some one expects, and has been prom
ised that money on Monday morning.
but he is told he must give; he thinks
of his many debts-he wants to give.
for if he does not he feels that he is
judged harshly. If he does give he
knows he cannot meet his obligations
and he leaves the church in
either event, in perplexed and feverish
state of mind. Away with the con-
'ributlon boxes on the Sabbath, and all
)eggary for money. There are six
lays in every week for making money;
ct the soliciting be done during that
ime.
